To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average amount of money allocated to the health care of residents in the(a) Tamworth and (b) Sutton Coldfield constituencies was in the last 12 months. [84177]

Primary care trusts commission health care for their populations. The primary care trusts for Tamworth and Sutton Coldfield constituencies are respectively Burntwood, Lichfield and Tamworth and North Birmingham.

Health authorities share their recurrent revenue allocations between their primary care trusts in line with guidance issued by the Department. Primary care trust shares of 2002–03 health authority recurrent revenue allocations per head of population are £718 for Burntwood, Lichfield and Tamworth and £773 for North Birmingham.
